ANSWERS

1. Choose 3 from the advantages of DBMS and elaborate them by giving a scenario or
examples.
Improved Data Sharing:
Scenario: A manufacturing company relies on a DBMS to manage product data. Various departments,
including production, inventory and sales, need to access to real time production status and inventory
levels. With a DBMS, they can share data efficiently, ensuring that everyone works with the most up to
date information. This seamless data sharing, helps prevent overproduction, reduces excess inventory
costs and improves overall operational efficiency.

Improved Data Security:


Scenario: A financial institution stores sensitive customer information in a DBMS. Only personnel who
have been granted access to a particular piece of data can do so thanks to the DBMS's tight access rules.
All data access and alterations are also recorded, enabling audit trails. The DBMS can initiate notifications
in the event of a security breach attempt, limiting unauthorized access and shielding critical financial data
from potential dangers.

Improved Decision Making:


Scenario: An online retailer uses utilized a DBMS to gather and analyze customer data. By tracing
customer behavior, purchase history, and demographics, the retailer identifies trends and patterns. This
information guides their destinations, such as optimizing product offering, pricing strategies and marketing
campaigns.

2. Using the different types of databases, list at least 2 examples for each type.
Single User Database:
Definition: A single user database is like a personal digital notebook that only one person can use at a
time. It's meant for individual use.
Examples:
SQLite: Picture it as a simple digital diary app on your phone, where you can write your thoughts and
ideas for yourself.
Microsoft Access: Think of it as your own digital diary where you jot down personal notes and keep them
organized.

Multiuser Database:
Definition: A multiuser database is like a shared digital whiteboard where multiple people can write and
draw at the same time. Many people can use it together.
Examples:
PostgreSQL: Picture it as a big shared digital notepad where a group can write and collaborate on various
projects.
MySQL: Imagine it as a digital whiteboard in an office where a whole team can write and edit ideas
simultaneously.

Centralized Database:
Definition: A centralized database is like a central hub where all important information is stored, and
everyone in an organization goes to this one place to access data.
Examples:
IBM Db2: Picture it as the central information desk in a library where everyone goes to find books and
resources.
Oracle Database: Think of it as the main storage room in a big office where all files and important
documents are kept securely.

Distributed Database:
Definition: A distributed database is like having multiple interconnected digital notebooks, each with
different pieces of information, but they're all linked and can communicate with each other.
Examples:
Amazon Aurora: Picture it as a bunch of interconnected digital notebooks in different rooms that can still
share notes and updates.
Google Spanner: Imagine it as a network of digital notebooks across different offices that can share
information seamlessly.
Operational Database:
Definition: An operational database is like a digital checklist you constantly update and check off. It's for
managing day-to-day operations and transactions of a business.
Examples:
MongoDB (in some cases): Picture it as a real-time inventory tracker for a warehouse, updating whenever
products are added or shipped.
SAP HANA: Think of it as a dynamic to-do list for a store, constantly updating as items are bought and
restocked.

Data Warehouse:
Definition: A data warehouse is like a vast library archive where you store all your old books (data) in an
organized way. It's for analyzing and making big decisions.
Examples:
Amazon Redshift: Imagine it as a gigantic library where you store all your old books (data) and can
analyze them to see trends and patterns.
Snowflake: Picture it as a huge, well-organized storage unit where you keep all your old stuff (data) in an
easily accessible manner for analysis.
